    Is arXiv a sufficient source to discuss on PF?

    Would a video with Sean Carroll laying out MWI suffice? (because mr. Carroll is a physicist)

    Do I have to agree with mainstream science?

    Is Everett 1957 ""Relative State" Formulation of Quantum Mechanics" the go-to paper about MWI? It is behind a paywall.

    Do I have to agree with mainstream science?

    In this topic I discussed MWI, which is an interpretation of standard QM. So to be more precise, my issue is with interpretation of QM. I don't refute standard QM. The topic was closed. I still feel interpretations of standard QM should be more indulgently moderated, especially considering it is...

    Do I have to agree with mainstream science?

    I am struggling with the fact that if I have questions about standard QM, I seem to have to agree with standard QM in its entirity, in which case I wouldn't have questions in the first place if you know what I mean. I don't entirely agree with some aspects of QM. So does that mean I cannot ask...

    Is arXiv a sufficient source to discuss on PF?

    As a side question: can I just ask a question about standard QM without reference (arXiv or other)?

    Is arXiv a sufficient source to discuss on PF?

    Are arXiv papers a sufficient source to discuss on Physics Forums?

    B A homebrew quantum computer simulator

    Thanks. It seems to work fine now. But I am not familiar with quantum computing. So the program is abacadabra to me :cry: I expected a graphical user interface in which you can add and drop gates. But that is not available in this version of your program. So your program is too complicated for...

    There is a file or library missing (2024).

    I Why is this interpretation of MWI wrong?

    I have my own interpretation of an interpretation. :smile: Or rather of the math.

    I Why is this interpretation of MWI wrong?

    I would say they can't all be realized and thus are not real. They are possible.

    I Why is this interpretation of MWI wrong?

    I am refering to possible outcomes. Like there's always one more.

    I Why is this interpretation of MWI wrong?

    Because if you have them all, you don't have them all?

    I Why is this interpretation of MWI wrong?

    If the Hilbert space is infinite, you can't have all of them real right? So then I see this as that a sort of collapse may not be avoided. Can you give your view on that?

    I Why is this interpretation of MWI wrong?

    If we take the wave function Ψ of a particle X that gets measured in a basis with a finite countable number of eigenvectors N, then according to MWI and myself, the interpretation suggests that we can write Ψ as the sum of projections of Ψ on the eigenvectors the following way: Ψ= Σn |e(n)> ⊗...

    B Preference for the notation used for the wave function?

    I was pondering that by myself. My only knowledge of QM comes from "QM the absolute minimum" by Susskind & co, and PF. I confused the eigenvalue with the probability amplitude. There is a lot I don't understand.
